diarrhea, dehydration and significant mortality in swine, thereby incurring heavy economic
losses in Korea. Spike (S) glycoprotein has been suggested as an important determinant for
PEDV biological properties. In this study, the nucleotide and deduced amino acid
sequences of the partial S glycoprotein genes of Korean PEDV isolates, including epitope
region that is capable of inducing PEDV-neutralizing antibodies, were determined. The …
